WHAT’S IN THE BOX
The GRAVITY™ system consists of two parts;
1. A cradle, which fits behind your neck and head
2. A triangular keystone, which sits against your sacrum*
This is a one-size-fits-all system.
*See illustration on page 8.
GRAVITY uses your bodyweight to trigger, decompress and relax tight muscles in the neck,
spine and pelvis. This has a domino eect, helping to release tension throughout your
body from your head to your toes. This release of tension can reduce pain and associated
stiness, and lets your entire body reposition itself correctly.
For best results, it is recommended that you use GRAVITY for a minimum of 20 minutes per
day, although you may use it for longer if you wish. Some users find they need to gradually
build up the time spent on the system.
It is not advisable to use GRAVITY:
If you are/could be pregnant
If you have epilepsy
If you have open wounds/sores around the area where GRAVITY touches your skin

ABOUT GRAVITY

True relaxation is the key to using GRAVITY.
Lie down, face up, on a firm surface. A carpeted floor is ideal, but you could lie on a yoga
mat, the beach, grass, or a therapy table if you have one. A bed is usually too soft for
GRAVITY to be eective. However, if you find getting down to floor level dicult you could
use a board on your bed to create a firmer surface.
Support from behind the knees is important as it allows the hips to relax and takes
pressure o the lower back. This can be done by placing a cushion or rolled-up yoga mat
under your knees or, if you’re on the go, you may want to put your feet up on a chair or a
sofa. Alternatively, if you do not have a bolster of some kind, place your feet flat on the floor
with your knees at a 30 – 45 degree angle.
HOW TO USE GRAVITY
Cradle Keystone
Everyone’s level of tension and support is dierent. With this in mind the keystone can be
used in dierent ways;
HOW TO POSITION THE KEYSTONE
• The standard way, with both the white plastic and the soft blue side
connected to one another and the blue side against your sacrum.
• If at first you find the keystone too firm, you can separate the white
plastic from the soft blue mat and lie only on the blue mat until you
feel comfortable using the keystone together in the standard way.
• For a deeper impact, you may wish to flip over the keystone and
place the white plastic side against the sacrum, with the soft blue mat
on the floor.
Please note, anyone can opt to use the keystone in any of the ways above, as long as it is
comfortable.

8 9
The keystone should be positioned before the cradle. Place the
keystone under your pelvis, centrally, against your sacrum.
The top flat edge of the keystone is marked with the word ‘TOP’,
which runs in line with the top of the sacrum.
The point of the triangle should sit about an inch above the
tailbone/coccyx. In non-medical terms, at the beginning of the
crease of your bottom.
It is important that it is placed central to the sacrum, but move it
around slightly to find a position that is comfortable for you. You
should be able to relax into it within a minute or so. To further relax
the pelvis, allow the knees to very slightly roll out to the side.
HOW TO POSITION THE KEYSTONE (CONTINUED)
TOP
Hold the neck cradle with the word GRAVITY facing you, then place it behind your neck
and head. The side nearest the top of your head has four nodules on the reverse of the
unit. The side nearest your neck has five.
Move it around until it feels comfortable for you - small adjustments to both pieces are key.
A lot of tension in the shoulders may push the cradle towards the head, giving a sense
of pressure against the head and neck and unacknowledged tension in your back can
sometimes cause discomfort. Prior to using GRAVITY, gentle shoulder shrugs could help to
loosen you up and relax.
If you are very tense, you may find the neck cradle feels too firm during the first few
sessions. You could place the velvet GRAVITY bag, or a towel, over the cradle to cushion it
at first.
Once you have found a comfortable position,
close your eyes and let go of any tension.
Let your shoulders relax with your arms by
your side.
As the tension disperses, your weight
distribution will change, and you may wish to
reposition the cradle and keystone so that
your neck and back can assume their natural
position.
HOW TO POSITION THE CRADLE
GRAVITYTM
10 11
The soft blue part of the neck cradle should not be removed from the white cradle rocker.
To fully benefit from the eects of the GRAVITY device, it is advised that you use both the
keystone and the cradle at the same time.
You may feel pressure as you lie on GRAVITY, but it shouldn’t feel painful. If you do
experience pain, adjust the position of the two pieces. If the pain persists, stop for this
session.
Everyone is built dierently and will feel the benefits of using GRAVITY at dierent rates.
Using GRAVITY on a regular basis allows tension to be released, giving the body a chance
to heal and recover.
GRAVITY is not a substitute or alternative for medical treatment. If in any doubt as to
whether GRAVITY is suitable for your own use, please consult your doctor.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR USING GRAVITY REMOVING GRAVITY AND FINISHING A SESSION
To remove GRAVITY, first lift the head and remove the neck cradle. You may wish to
replace the cradle with a cushion under you head.
Next, lift the pelvis and remove the keystone and then remove the bolster from under the
knees. Lie for a minute or two before rolling onto your side to get up. It is not unusual to
feel a little light-headed following a session.
